Instructions for making
simple book |
|
 |
1. Fold a piece of regular white duplicating paper in
half, width-wise. |
 |
2. Measure, on the fold, three inches from the
left margin and mark. Measure one more inch and make a second mark. Draw lines
perpendicular to the fold that extend on both sides of the fold for one inch. This is
going to be the pop-up portion. Cut along the marks but DO NOT cut across the top and
bottom. You are not trying to cut out a block, the paper between these cuts is folded to
form the pop-up.

3. Fold the tab inside to make the pop-up. You may have
more than one pop-up on each
page.. |
 |
4. Make an outline of the material that you plan to put on
each page of the book.
5. Draw a quick illustration of what you plan to paste to the
pop-up tab of each page.
Select the color of the page.
6. Fold the papers, and color the background for each page.
Write the text on the bottom
of each page. Draw the pictures that will go on the pop-ups, color and cut-out for each
page.

 |
7. Design the cover for your book. Draw and color.
8. Glue the pop-ups into place and then glue the pages
together. Glue the cover around
the book (figures 4 and 5). |
